From Nigeria to Ukraine

The decision is made to change the main character from being Nigerian to being from Ukraine, the believability of a Nigerian girl to have access to the Internet and to a digital camera, not to say camcorder on a daily basis was just not very big. - This change in character opened up doors for a possibility to actually go to Eastern Europe to shoot! So in the beginning of May we will be going to Budapest to get some interior of a real Eastern apartment. Yay!

So, the big question now is how to get people to enter the the game. Since it seems, as of now, it will mostly be available online, how to create that buzz, that will actually make people play?! As ARG's normally only are available in a certain time frame, I decided to make the game half ARG/half flash game. There should definitely be a hype around it on every social media channel available, before it gets out,which will create the time hype. BUT it should also be accessible over time.
